    Stay away from Verizon FIOS especially if your a web site owner. For no apparent reason they will block your servers IP address and domain names and no one in the Verizon net work will be able to access your web site. I have call tech support 5 times already they do even know what is going on. The customer service is a joke. I am done with Verizon FIOS. This was a big mistake for my company.

    Are you sure you didn't violate some of the terms of service or anything like that? Did they give you any reason at all?

    Never did at all. The techs there don't know what is going on that is the responce they are giving me. And what really pissed me off was after being with a tech supervisor for hours. She tells me she is going to move me to a level 2 tech after all that time. And she says I have to WAIT 24 hours for the level 2 tech to call me. well they have 2 more hours left.

    One of the techs tells me they block port 80 and other ports. So people in the verison network cannot view your website. STUPID! Then he tells me I have to get a business connection router with them $$$ to view my own site. STUPID! and other people that do not have a business router still will not be able to see my site. STUPID!

    Does any one here have verizon fios that can confirm they also cannot view my site's??? I am in the East coast.
